Strip: position for adjustable foot braces

I am about ready to glass the deck to the hull of my Guillemot Play, and am concerned about the adjustable foot braces. It seems that if I place them per directions, 2" below the sheer, there will be limited room, and I might only make contact to the braces with my heel. If I placed the braces above the sheer on the underside of the deck, it might be more comfortable. Any thoughts on this? Attaching them after the hull and deck are joined, will be very difficult.
Thanks,
Barry
